Lost in the debate over if, or when, a quantum computer will decipher encryption models is the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to become part of organizations’ tech stacks and zero-trust strategies. Enterprises need to follow the lead Cloudflare has taken and design PQC as a core part of their infrastructure, with the goal of extending zero trust beyond […]

Today we launch the ability to provision capacity to run your Athena queries. Athena is a query service that makes it simple to analyze data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) data lakes and 30 different data sources, including on-premises data sources or other cloud systems, using standard SQL queries. Athena is serverless, so […]

Last December, Sébastien Stormacq wrote about the availability of a distributed map state for AWS Step Functions, a new feature that allows you to orchestrate large-scale parallel workloads in the cloud. That’s when Charles Burton, a data systems engineer for a company called CyberGRX, found out about it and refactored his workflow, reducing the processing […]

This is the third installment of the Hello World series, where I discuss the broad landscape of generative AI with AI and ML experts at Amazon. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to watch my conversations with Swami Sivasubramanian, and with Sudipta Sengupta and Dan Roth. (The picture above is me doing my homework […]

While many organizations have established environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals and made ESG commitments, driven by purpose and emerging regulatory requirements, they face several challenges when making the transition from ambition to action. A recent IBM study found that global executives cite inadequate data (41%) as the biggest obstacle to their ESG progress, followed […]

IT Managers run into scalability challenges on a regular basis. It is difficult to predict growth rates of applications, storage capacity usage and bandwidth. When a workload reaches capacity limits, how is performance maintained while preserving efficiency to scale? The ability to use the cloud to scale quickly and handle unexpected rapid growth or seasonal shifts […]

Jabil isn’t just a manufacturer, they are experts on global supply chain, logistics, automation, product design and engineering solutions. They are also interested and involved in the holistic application of emerging technologies like additive manufacturing, autonomous technologies, and artificial intelligence. They are a technologically motivated enterprise, so it’s no surprise that they would apply this […]

When it comes to analytics solutions, centralization versus decentralization is one constant tension that’s plagued data architects for years now. Both options offer their own sets of advantages and disadvantages, as well. Centralized data design means building a data tool set controlled by a single IT department that serves external business units. This provides organizations […]

In a prior blog, we pointed out that warehouses, known for high-performance data processing for business intelligence, can quickly become expensive for new data and evolving workloads. We also made the case that query and reporting, provided by big data engines such as Presto, need to work with the Spark infrastructure framework to support advanced […]
